An Inside Look at the Lives of UK Scholars Undergraduate Academic Awards UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON Undergraduate Academic Awards An inside look at the lives of UK Scholars June 1, 2015 | by Bridget Jaekel Applying for a national scholarship can seem like a daunting task. It requires countless hours of drafting, writing and revising; of deep reflection about your past accomplishments and experience; of profound contemplation about your future aspirations. But being selected as a national scholar will take you on a journey unlike any other. Just ask Drew Birrenkott, Andrew Bulovsky and Josh Shutter. All three men are 2014 graduates of UW-Madison and they all belong to an elite group of national scholars who have been recognized for the exceptional academic achievement and outstanding personal characteristics. Birrenkott is a 2014 Rhodes Andrew Bulovsky, Josh Shutter and Drew Birrenkott at the 2014 Chancellor’s Undergraduate Awards Ceremony Scholar currently in the first year of his D.Phil (the Oxford equivalent to a PhD) in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. Bulovsky is a 2014 Marshall Scholar and is working towards a Master of Science in Comparative Politics from the London School of Economics and Political Science. And Shutter is a 2014 Churchill Scholar studying for a Master of Philosophy in Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. Academic experiences abroad Birrenkott, Bulovsky and Shutter headed to the United Kingdom in the fall of 2014. As scholars, they have enjoyed countless benefits. Shutter says that the most rewarding opportunities as a Churchill Scholar have undoubtedly come via his studies at Cambridge. “Perhaps the greatest academic benefit in Cambridge is the freedom and liberty to chart your own path of study and inquiry for the MPhil degree,” Shutter said. He is completing a research master’s, working independently on his project under the supervision of Cambridge faculty, with little or no classroom work. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON Undergraduate Academic Awards The opportunity to meet world-renowned scholars is also something from which Shutter says he has benefitted. Similarly, Birrenkott says that the Rhodes Scholarship has provided him with an important broadening experience. He is constantly surrounded by Rhodes Scholars from 16 different nations doing work in a variety of fields unfamiliar to him. “I have had amazing conversations on topics I know only very little about,” Birrenkott said. “I feel that this experience will allow me to engage more broadly with my colleagues and co-workers in a way that I might otherwise not have been able to.” Bulovsky praises his academic experience as well. Through the Marshall Commission’s Speaker’s Program, he gave a guest lecture to first-year undergraduate students at the University of Ulster on the design of the US political system and the logic behind the separation of powers. In addition, through a special internship scheme available at the London School of Economics, Bulovsky works for a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons, and had the opportunity to contribute to her recent successful reelection campaign. Outside of the classroom The Rhodes, Marshall and Churchill Scholarships all encourage scholars to build experiences in realms other than academics as well. Shutter says he appreciates the Churchill program’s encouragement of scholars to grow not only academically, but also culturally. For Shutter, this means traveling—around the English and French countryside, and to London, Rome and Paris. Birrenkott agrees that being able to travel regularly and so easily has been an amazing opportunity for him. “To me a year ago, [traveling to London for the day] would have seemed very exotic,” Birrenkott said. “But being in Europe, it’s really easy to go and see places that you’ve only ever heard about in history books.” Bulovsky has also had the opportunity to expand his cultural horizons, in an especially memorable way. In November 2014, he ran the Instanbul marathon. Bulovsky successfully completed the only race that covers two continents, starting in Asia and crossing the finish line in Europe. Furthermore, all three scholars have been Bulovsky and Birrenkott in the gardens at presented with many opportunities unique to Trinity College, University of Oxford. their individual scholarship programs. As a Churchill Scholar, Shutter was able to attend the wreath-laying ceremony in Parliament in UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON Undergraduate Academic Awards honor of the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s state funeral. For Birrenkott, the Rhodes Scholarship has provided a unique sense of community. The scholarship is primarily run through Rhodes House, a building on the Oxford campus that all the scholars are invited to use as their own space. “The staff at Rhodes House takes great pride in bringing all of the scholars from all constituencies and years together for many talks, social functions and activities,” Birrenkott said. “This means that we all grow very close and get to know one another very well.” Why apply? Birrenkott, Bulovsky and Shutter’s priceless experiences seem to make it clear why they all agree that other students should apply for these prestigious UK scholarships. Bulovsky says the scholarships provide life-changing opportunities to identify your passions, as well as to pursue your dreams while lessening the financial burden of graduate school. And the perks don’t end there, according to Bulovsky. “These two years of study in the UK will not only expose me to some of the most incredible graduate programs in the world and to some brilliant alumni who can provide career advice, but the time I now have to think about my future and goals is priceless,” Bulovsky said. Shutter sitting at Winston Churchill's War Room desk. Shutter says that applicants shouldn’t be discouraged by the seemingly impossible task. According to Shutter, many of his fellow Churchill Scholars share in his sentiment that he never expected to actually receive the scholarship. “Perhaps the biggest roadblock in applying is the one that we mentally put up ourselves,” Shutter said. Benefits of the application process Birrenkott, Bulovsky and Shutter all praise the application process for being a learning experience in and of itself. Shutter emphasizes the importance of a strong personal statement. Bulovsky agrees; stating that through this essay applicants are able to delve into their interests and do some important self-discovery. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON Undergraduate Academic Awards “The application process encourages you to truly identify what you’re interested in and enables you to weave a narrative through your experiences about what has driven you up to this point in your life,” Bulovsky said. “This will help you find your passions.” Bulovsky adds that working on his application sharpened his writing skills more than any traditional course he had ever taken. Birrenkott echoes Bulovsky’s sentiment. He warns all students applying to a national scholarship to be prepared for ‘a heavy dose of introspection.’ “At the time you’re working through it, the application process can be both stressful and frustrating,” Birrenkott said. “But in hindsight you realize that you learned more about what motivates you as a person than you would from most other things.” Shutter says that in addition providing an opportunity to reflect on his experiences at UW-Madison, composing the Churchill application provided a solid foundation when the time came to complete applications for graduate school and graduate research fellowships. Birrenkott, Bulovsky and Shutter recognize that applying for the UK scholarships is a huge undertaking. They stress the amount of support that is available at the university, from their professors, and staff at the UW-Madison Writing Center and the Undergraduate Academic Awards Office. By taking advantage of these resources, all three students were able to put together winning applications. Now, all three UK scholars are in the midst of incredible academic and cultural journeys that have been provided by their scholarships. They encourage all students to take the plunge and apply as well; one never knows who the next Rhodes, Churchill or Marshall Scholar will be. Birrenkott puts it most simply: “The only way to guarantee you won’t get the scholarship is to not apply.” .

    RHENISH GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL P O Box 87 Koch Street Stellenbosch, 7600 TEL: 021-8876807 FAX: 021-8878090 Email: [email protected] PRINCIPAL: MS E H SLABBER THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIP Rhenish Old Girls who qualify have a very special opportunity to apply for postgraduate study at Oxford University. In terms of Cecil John Rhodes’s Will, a Scholarship Trust was established in 1902, to enable potential young leaders to study at Oxford. In the Will, five scholarships were specifically awarded to South Africa – one to a student from Natal and one each to four schools: Diocesan College (Bishops), SACS, Stellenbosch Boys’ High School (Paul Roos) and St Andrews (Grahamstown). In recent years these scholarships have also been made available to women from their partner schools. In the case of Paul Roos, this opened the way to alumni from Rhenish Girls’ High School and Hoër Meisiesskool Bloemhof. The scholarship is aimed at outstanding young graduates who excel academically, demonstrate leadership and are committed to making a difference in the world. Candidates must be at least 19 years old and younger than 25, which is extended by 3 years for MBChB applicants who are doing their internship. Candidates must be accepted into a postgraduate course at Oxford in order to qualify for the scholarship. The Trust covers all costs, including university and college fees and travel to and from Oxford. A comfortable allowance is also allowed. Applications are made online: http://www.rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk/southern-africa. Please check the deadlines for the year in which you wish to apply.

  • Marshall/Mitchell/Rhodes (US & Canadian) Scholarships 2017-2018 Yale Notes for Writers of Letters of Reference
    Marshall/Mitchell/Rhodes (US & Canadian) Scholarships 2017-2018 Yale notes for writers of letters of reference Letters of reference are an essential piece of an application for the Marshall, Mitchell, and Rhodes, as of so many other applications. Thank you for taking the time to advise this applicant, and perhaps to write a letter! When to say no: Scholarships such as the Marshall, Mitchell, and Rhodes are extremely competitive, and letters of recommendation play an important role in a student’s application. If you feel that for any reason you cannot write a strongly supportive recommendation for the student, please decline to write a letter at all. If you do not know the student well enough to write a detailed letter, or if you simply do not have the time to write a strong 1½-2-page letter, please decline. Applicants asking you for a letter should have done so in timely and helpful fashion. They should give you information about the scholarship(s) for which they are applying. They should also have outlined, and preferably discussed with you, why they are applying for the scholarship, what they’re hoping to do with it, and how they might be thinking of your letter in the context of the rest of the application. Should you wish, they may share with you copies of their personal statements [although see the note below], proposals of study, and/or information about extracurricular activities. If you have not been given adequate time or information to write a strong letter, you may wish to decline to write and would be well within your rights to do so.
